The total yields, the yields per acre and the average yields per bushel, as given in 

 Table I, relate to bushels of the Canadian legal weight for each grain, viz., 60 lb. per 

 bushel for wheat, peas and beans, 56 lb. for com, rye and flaxseed, 48 lb. for barley and 

 buckwheat and 34 lb. for oats. In Table II, the average weight per measured bushel 

 represents the natural weight of the grain and is an indication of its quality, due to the 

 character of the season. For spring wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat the weights per 

 measured bushel in 1913 are higher than in any previous year recorded. 



Wheat, Oats and Barley in the Northwest Provinces. Tables III and IV give the 



areas and total yields of wheat, oats and barley in the three Northwest provinces for the 

 years 1900, 1905, 1906, 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1913.
